Christmas Hampers

This year we have been delighted at the number of nominations we received for our Christmas Hampers. In total 9 hampers were presented to senior people within Melling to make them feel a part of the community.

This is the second year that Melling Parish Council have ran this initiative and Chair, Councillor Dawn Beaumont said: “While we are looking forward to Christmas and spending time with loved ones, I want to make sure we give a thought to those people for whom Christmas may not always be a time of cheer. This time of year should bring people together and remind them that they are part of a community who cares for them and we hope that our hampers have gone a little way toward achieving this.

Here are a few images of residence being presented with their hamper by Cllr Beaumont.
